[Intro] Ash on my shoes Smoke in my lungs Thought I was done Still, I bit my tongue [Verse 1] I was knee-deep in the fire, soles melting on the floor Every step another trial, every breath another war Had my back to the pain, front row to the doubt But I carved my own lane, kicked the fear out the house Mama said "baby, you built for the storm" I was soaked to the bone, still I pushed, still I swore If the devil want a dance, he gon' learn my spin 'Cause I break through doors he tried to lock me in [Chorus] I walked through fire just to feel this sky Turned my hell into heaven right before my eyes I bled, I burned, but I learned my worth Yeah, I never gave up on myself on this earth [Verse 2] [low vocal register] Had nights where the walls leaned in, hands on my throat Every voice in my head saying "kid, you a joke" But I stared that mirror down, saw a lion in the glass Said "I’m more than every scar, more than every broken past" Now I stride with a blaze that they never could steal Every blister on my feet just proof that I heal Turn the ashes to gold, every wound to a crown What tried to bury my soul just rooted me down [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Step by step Breath by breath I turned that death Into one more step [growing intensity] Let the flames run high, I rise above them Every fall I took just taught me something Hell in my rearview, stars in my sight I made my own heaven out the hardest nights [Chorus]
